Stoicism
The philosophical school — not the internet version. Where to start, what to read after Meditations, and how the Stoics actually lived.
What Stoicism actually is
A Hellenistic philosophical school founded in the Stoa Poikile around 300 BCE — and what gets lost when the school becomes a brand.
ReadA beginner's pace
Twenty minutes a day, four books worth starting with, and the case for reading slowly enough that the ideas land.
ReadWhat to read after Meditations
Three or four next reads — Epictetus, A.A. Long, Hadot, and one contrasting voice to keep the school honest.
ReadHow the Stoics lived
The morning meditation, the evening review, prosoche, the dichotomy of control — the actual practices, not the modern self-help versions.
ReadThere's a seven-day path on this in the app.
Stoicism: Foundations is a seven-day audio path through the core practices — the dichotomy of control, premeditatio malorum, the view from above, amor fati, memento mori. Narrated by a person, a lesson a day. The library is yours on cancellation.
Why Stoicism gets misread by everyone except the Stoics
A long essay on the gap between Marcus, Seneca, Epictetus — and what the school became after Ryan Holiday. Forthcoming.
